Season calendar
Countries that hosted F1 Powerboat races in 2011, shown in green. Former host nations are shown in pink.

There were a total of 10 individual races originally planned for the 2011 season by the UIM,[1] with events in St Petersburg, Nanyang and Haikou alongside the seven that ultimately took place. These included a brand new race in Vyshhorod which was announced on 25 January, bringing F1 powerboats to Ukraine for the first time.[5] However on 12 April it was announced that the planned race in St Petersburg was to be rescheduled for 2012, with the Kazan race moved back a week to avoid a clash with the Class 1 Norwegian Grand Prix.[6]
